Based on the Fabia 2 it comes with unique Pacific Blue paint, white roof, 15 " ‘Line’ alloy wheels and lowered suspension. Interior features over the Fabia 2 include ‘Magic’ upholstery, climate control air conditioning, glasses storage compartment and storage boxes under front seats, making the little Fabia both funky and functional. £9,990 for the 1.2 70 bhp petrol. £11,450 for the 1.4 80 bhp diesel.

October 2008

Fabia Sport introduced, lowered by 15mm and giving it a sportier poise. Price increased by up to £290.

New look grille from Geneva Motor Show, March 2010. The new design accentuates the cars’ width, with a totally redesigned face that gives both cars a more dynamic look, increasing their road presence. Scout models have also been redesigned, with a new Fabia hatch version making its debut in Geneva.

The new look is most evident in the redesigned radiator grille and 3D-shaped headlamps, which have been widened, highlighting the stronger horizontal line of the cars’ faces. This gives both Fabia and Roomster a more dynamic look, while losing none of the cars’ elegance and appeal. Both vehicles now look more confident, mature and expressive.

The Fabia, Fabia Estate and Roomster also receive a number of technological improvements including state-of-the-art engines. This new engine portfolio is at the very core of the changes, with the entire front structure being redesigned to accommodate them.

Skoda will offer four petrol engines and two diesel units in the UK, with power ranging from 60bhp to 105bhp in the Fabia and from 70bhp to 105bhp in the Roomster. All engines comply with the EU5 standard and deliver exceptionally low fuel consumption and CO 2 emission levels.

But Skoda's development efforts weren’t only aimed at improving efficiency – improved performance was also a key goal. Nowhere is this more apparent than when the new 1.2 TSI 105bhp petrol engine is combined with the optimised, two-clutch seven-speed DSG transmission. This delivers impressive power with excellent combined fuel consumption of just 53.3 mpg. The four-cylinder 1.2 TSI engine is available in two power levels – 85 bhp and 105bhp. Both of these will also be available with a five-speed manual transmission.

Both diesel units are fitted with high-pressure Common Rail injection, with a pressure of up to 1,600 bar combined with fast-responding piezoelectric injectors that are able to perform as many as five injections within one beat, resulting in improved engine refinement. Both diesel engines feature particulate filters as standard and CO 2 emissions are under 110g/km.

The Fabia engine line-up consists of:

1.2 6V 60 bhp

1.2 12V 70 bhp

1.2 TSI 85 bhp

1.2 TSI 105bhp (manual and DSG)

Following the launch of the face-lifted Fabia and Roomster, Skoda Auto has unveiled the Fabia Estate GreenLine II and Roomster GreenLine II – the first of its second generation of environmentally-friendly GreenLine models.

The new model Fabia and Roomster’s have been facelifted and fitted with new technology designed to further reduce fuel consumption and CO2emission levels. The most important innovations include a new engine (1.2 TDI CR DPF/75bhp DPF) with Common Rail (high-pressure direct injection), start-stop technology, energy recuperation and gear recommendation (on a Maxi DOT display).

One of the biggest technological changes in the second-generation GreenLine version is a new three-cylinder supercharged diesel engine (1.2 TDI CR DPF/55 kW) with a consumption of just 83.1 mpg and CO2emissions of 89 g/km for the Fabia Estate GreenLine II, and 67.3 and 109 g/km for the Roomster GreenLine II.

In addition to lower CO2emissions, other contaminant levels have also been reduced. The new engine complies with the EU 5 emission standard that, for diesel engines, has stricter regulations for nitrogen oxides and solid particles. The gear ratios of the car's five-speed transmission are identical to those of the ordinary Fabia and Roomster models fitted with the same engine. As a result, the GreenLine II offers the same responsiveness yet with lower consumption.

The key benefits of the stop-start system stand out in busy city traffic. The system operates automatically, directly after the engine starts. If, after some time, the driver stops the vehicle, engages neutral and releases the clutch pedal, the engine switches off automatically. As soon as the driver presses the clutch, the engine starts again immediately. stop-start makes it is possible to save up to 4.2mpg (combined) or up to 7.7 mpg in city traffic.

Energy recuperation is another state-of-the-art technology introduced on the new Fabia Estate i GreenLine II and Roomster GreenLine II. Effective utilisation of the vehicle's kinetic energy for battery recharging is a simple system that helps to save fuel continuously. The two systems – Start-Stop and Braking energy recovery work in partnership and, along with other measures, help to make the operation of these new models as environmentally-friendly as possible. The application of the energy recovery system has helped to reduce the CO 2 emissions by 2 - 4 g/km.

June 2010

Fabia Greenline II Estate price announced at £13,740 . The new Škoda Fabia Greenline II will become the most environmentally-friendly car ever to wear the famous Škoda badge which goes on sale on sale in the UK next week.

The second generation Greenline is powered by a new three-cylinder turbocharged 1.2 TDI CR 75bhp DPF common rail (high-pressure direct injection) engine which returns an impressive 83.1 mpg (combined cycle) and produces exceptionally lowemissions of only 89g/km, which means the Fabia Greenline II is exempt from road tax.

Priced at £13,740, the five door estate comes complete with £800 of extra standard equipment over the model which it replaces, including cruise control, ESP, stop-start function, tyre pressure monitor (TPM) and an alarm with tilt-sensor.

September 2010

Skoda Fabia Elegance 1.6 TDI CR also received an accolade at the awards, by being selected as the best in its price category – Under £16,000. The judges praised its “tenacious pulling power...and quick, accurate steering.”

January 2011

Skoda’s Fabia Monte Carlo announced, a new model with sports styling and bespoke interior. Launched to celebrate 100 years of the Monte Carlo Rally, and commemorate the 110 year anniversary of Skoda's motorsport efforts, this special edition model is a nod towards Škoda’s sporting pedigree.

Outside, the Fabia Monte Carlo has piano-black body trim, which extends over the wheel arches and down the length of the car, a black roof, black door mirror covers, a black radiator grille top, smoked headlamps and black 17” lightweight Trinity alloy wheels.

The Fabia Monte Carlo made its first public appearance at Rallye Monte Carlo (19-22 January), where Škoda’s current IRC championship winning rally car, the Fabia S2000, finished fourth (in class) on its first outing at this legendary rally in 2009. In 2010, Škoda Motorsport finished second, third and fifth (in class) with Hänninen, Vouilloz and Kopecký, respectively.

Available as hatchback only, the car’s trim is based on the current Fabia SE version, and the new Monte Carlo will be available with a wide range of engines.

All of the Fabia Monte Carlo models will be fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission and are available to order from 24 January 2011.

Skoda has unveiled a pair of new additions to its ageing Fabia range. The Fabia Reaction and Fabia Monte Carlo TECH Estate hit showrooms this month, offering additional equipment at value prices.

The Fabia Reaction joins the range with an introductory price of £9690 – £3715 less than the normal price of £13,405. Despite discounted price-tag, the Fabia Reaction features an extensive equipment list. Air-conditioning and a three-spoke leather steering wheel are fitted as standard, while the exterior benefits from 16-inch black Comet alloys, rear spoiler, black detailing on the roof, mirrors and grille, and Sunset glass.

The Fabia Reaction model is fitted with a 1.2-litre 12V 69PS engine and is available in hatch form. The new Fabia Monte Carlo TECH Estate follows on from the hatch version launched earlier this year and runs on 17" 'Trinity' alloy wheels with 205/40 R17 tyres. Available with a choice of two engines: 1.2 TSI 105PS or 1.6 TDI CR 105PS, the TECH is based on the Monte Carlo model, but adds Amundsen sat-nav and Bluetooth connectivity as standard.

Available with three colour options: red, white and black, the 1.2 TSI 105PS petrol model is priced from £12,575, while the 1.6 TDI CR 105PS starts from £13,545.

July 2014

New Fabia SE launched

Costing £9,595 it comes with the 1.2-litre 69PS petrol engine and has 15-inch alloy wheels, extra rear speakers, manual air conditioning, tinted glass, electric door mirrors and remote central locking. The special edition version, which is based on the SE, includes a spare wheel and metallic paint for no extra cost. That represents additional value of £600.
